With the four ceremonies -- Baker College of Flint, Kettering, Mott Community College and University of Michigan-Flint -- more than 2,510 students walked across a stage to get their degree over the past couple of months.

Baker's graduation was a few weeks later on June 15 with 760 graduates. Kettering's graduation had roughly 463 graduates at Sunday's ceremony.

UM-Flint graduate Erika Trigg told fellow classmates during her student address there will be some issues for them along the way after leaving the university.

"The future holds no promises, it is full of challenges and roadblocks, but our destiny is our own," she said.

"We're going to have to step out of our comfort zones and take risks and things are not always going to be easy, said Trigg, who recalled a discussion with Mary Jo Sekelsy, vice chancellor of student affairs, that told her "Sometimes you have to run into the fire. You don't have to stay there forever, but sometimes you have to take risks that make you uncomfortable.

"That's how you learn and how you grow, and learning and personal growth never ends," Trigg said. "It's a lifelong journey that we are all now well prepared for, but we can't prepare for everything."
